JobsRadar.com is a job board where can people search for job openings in their chosen field and chosen regional area. In order to see any of the job openings on JobsRadar, you must create a free account.
JobsRadar appears to be a simple aggregate of jobs posted online, both by employers and by other job boards. Often when trying to fill out an online application for a job you found on JobsRadar, you will be asked to create new account with the job board or database where the job was originally posted.
What to Look Out For on Jobs Sites
One of the draws of the large, premium jobs finding sites like Monster or CareerBuilder is the ability to post your resume online so that employers can find you. JobsRadar does provide an area to post your resume if you choose, but it is not required.
Generally speaking, these days posting your resume on an open jobs forum is not the best idea. Instead of employers getting your information, most often advertisers are acquiring your information to contact you with sales pitches.
Jobs boards in general are more of an area for sponsors and advertisers these days than they truly are for job seekers. In fact, before you can create your free account at JobsRadar, you must fill out all your personal information, including address, phone number, and email address, and you must agree to their privacy policy.
In the privacy policy, you are told that you will be mailed and emailed special offers or information they think you would like. In addition, you are giving them permission to call or text you with special offers.
If you are concerned with advertisers and sponsors contacting your cell phone or filling your inbox with offers, consider creating a new email account specifically for job opportunities, as well as using a landline phone number if you have one.
Even worse, they sign you up for these for profit schools (which are scams as well, hell the interviewer was a graduate from DeVry University!) while the caller is looking for work (be it a fast food job or warehouse work) that's the representative's cue to steer them into the direction of going to school. The damn interviewer was trying to justify it by saying "they're just looking minimum wage work." Seriously!
Yes, this is a scam! Don't fall for it.

My second clue JobsRadar.com was a scam site is when Ashley then started some kind of selling pitch for some schools. When I tried to explain (1)it was not me but my daughter who was at the site, and (2)she was just looking for a job, Ashley didn't let me get a word in edgewise and continued her pitch without skipping a beat. When my daughter got on the phone, Ashley stopped long enough to ask her her education and then started pushing college classes on my daughter. So why does my daughter need college classes for an entry-level cashier position that would be gone by the time she finishes the classes anyway???
After we hung up, we had ANOTHER affiliate from JobsRadar call us back and try to sell my daughter classes as well. My daughter never did get any info on the job she applied for. So stay away from JobsRadar.com -- they are NOTHING BUT CON ARTISTS WHO DO NOTHING BUT HARVEST INFORMATION TO TRY AND SCAM YOU AND DO NOT HAVE ANY LEGITIMATE JOBS!!!
